The classroom half of your license.

Massachusetts requires 30 hours of classroom instruction covering motor vehicle law and safe, proper operation of a vehicle. We teach it in small groups — over two to three weeks, or compressed into one.

The schedule

Two ways to fit 15 modules around your life.

The course is the same either way — 15 two-hour modules, with a required 15-minute break after each one. What changes is how they are spread out.

School vacation weeks One week

Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 3:30 pm

Three modules a day for five days. The whole 30 hours finished inside a single vacation week — February, April and summer break.

Time		Length
9:00 – 11:00 am	Module	2 hours
11:00 – 11:15 am	Break	15 min
11:15 am – 1:15 pm	Module	2 hours
1:15 – 1:30 pm	Break	15 min
1:30 – 3:30 pm	Module	2 hours

5 days × 3 modules = 15 modules = 30 hours.

During the school year About three weeks

Weekday evenings, 6:00 – 8:00 pm

One module an evening, after school and after dinner. Fifteen evenings across roughly three weeks, so nothing clashes with the school day, homework or a job.

Time		Length
6:00 – 8:00 pm	Module	2 hours
8:00 pm	Break / end of session	15 min

15 evenings × 1 module = 15 modules = 30 hours.

The break is not optional. A 15-minute break is required after every two hours of instruction. It is in the schedule because it has to be — and because nobody absorbs four straight hours of traffic law without one.

Course outline

The 15 modules, in order

Taught in sequence, so each module builds on the one before. Classroom and behind-the-wheel hours must both be completed within two years of each other.

01

Massachusetts licensing & the Junior Operator Law

What the RMV requires at every stage, and the restrictions that apply once you are licensed.

02

The vehicle: controls and pre-drive checks

Seat, mirrors, belts, dashboard warnings, and the checks you do before the engine starts.

03

Signs, signals and road markings

Regulatory, warning and guide signs — including the ones people routinely read wrong.

04

Right of way and intersections

Four-way stops, unmarked intersections, turning across traffic, and who actually goes first.

05

Speed, following distance and space

Reading gaps, the three-second rule, and why stopping distance is not what people think.

06

Lane discipline, passing and merging

Staying in your lane, choosing the right one, and passing without drama.

07

Rotaries and complex junctions

A Massachusetts specialty. Yielding, signaling out, and committing without hesitating.

08

Parking: parallel, angle and hill

Reference points, curb distance, and what the examiner is watching for.

09

Highway driving

Entering, merging at speed, lane changes in traffic, and exiting safely.

10

Sharing the road

Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles, school buses, trucks and emergency vehicles.

11

Alcohol, cannabis and impairment

Massachusetts law, zero tolerance for under-21s, and what a single conviction costs you.

12

Distraction and the hands-free law

What the law allows, what it does not, and the stricter rule for drivers under 18.

13

Night, rain, snow and reduced visibility

New England conditions, and how each one changes your speed and following distance.

14

Emergencies, breakdowns and crashes

Skid recovery, tire blowouts, breakdown procedure, and what to do at the scene of a crash.

15

Ownership and the road test

Registration, inspection, insurance — and a full walkthrough of the road test itself.

Also required

The two-hour parent class

Massachusetts requires a parent or guardian of every under-18 student to attend a two-hour class. We run it alongside the course — one evening, and it covers what you are responsible for during the 40 supervised hours at home.
